any 'deal' that doesn't include ukraine in the negotiations is no deal at all. it's a sham to give russia whatever tf they want.

I hope they tell him to go fuck himself if he wants to collect the 500 billion for this "deal"

Just charge him the exact amount he demands as rent and utilities bills for his military bases all over Europe.

But be careful, that guy is known not to pay his bills, so be prepared to seize assets in case he doesn't pay up.

It's so fricking american to talk over the fate of one country without giving said country a say in the matters.

And then loudly applaud it at home, with most voters ignorant of what just happened, even with protestors outside the room.

also the applause aren’t for peace; they’re for not spending money

war is a synonym for expense to the right

to be fair - most of these voters wouldn't even be able to spot Ukraine on a world map even if the name was printed on it in plain english...

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 32 points 1 week ago

Why is Ukraine not involved in these calls ?

He's doing the same thing he did with Afghanistan.

Also Palestinians who were not part of his supposed Mid-East peace deal.

Trump talked to Palestinian president Abbas last time he was in office.

Do you think the Abraham Accords are undesirable?

[-] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The PA is a great example of Counter Insurgency

The plight of the Palestinians was an afterthought, if even that. Along with the US, “the Abraham Accords gave Israel the impression they could proceed without anything significant with the Palestinians,” Hellyer said.

And that was a problem, because instead of trying to strike some sort of deal with the Palestinians, the Israelis realized they could push for whatever they wanted with America’s full support. In effect, the Abraham Accords emboldened the Israelis while allowing them to disregard Palestinian demands or rights.

The Abraham Accords emboldened Israel's Settler-Colonial Occupation

A fair criticism. However, the situation between Israel and Palestine has been stuck for two decades now.

The Palestinians haven’t even been able to form a unified government for about that time as well.

Dictators, doing dictator things, because they're dictators.

[-] YaDownWitCPP@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Apparently Zelensky and Putin aren't getting along right now.

[-] Quittenbrot@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

Because that doesn't fit into the plans..

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

"Talks". More like "What would You like me to do now Mister Putin, Sir?"

[-] raskolnikov@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact flashbacks anyone?

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
